The curriculum in schools is changing.
As the world is changes, there are lots of new challenges
that will need new technology and new ideas.
The Welsh Government wants you to have the knowledge, skills and
experiences you’ll need to succeed.
Curriculum isn’t just about what you learn. It’s also about
how you learn and the reasons why you learn.

There are so many different ways to encourage learning in your home.
Spending time with your children baking, planting, writing, reading, building, painting, making playdough and playing are all so important and provide many opportunities for learning.
These tasks provide opportunities to develop many skills such as language, maths and problem solving skills. They also give your child time to spend with you which is invaluable.
